About Katorah Kenway

Writing under the pseudonym of Katorah Kenway, or Katorah K, she grew up with a love of books from the time she was ten years old when a teacher introduced her to the words of Beverly Cleary. From that point forward she read everything she could get her hands on for both enjoyment and knowledge.

Currently pursuing her second chance at life with the help of friends from around the world, she chose to turn her love of books into a new hobby. With her laptop practically glued to her legs, she's spent the past couple of years pounding on the keys to create numerous story lines. Finally picking one whose characters spoke to her on a personal level, the Ackerman Security Series was born. The characters in the book are constantly in her mind telling her what they want to do and what direction the series should go.

In her spare time she likes to read, write, and research. A multi-tasker, she always has something new and different going on. While she has always enjoyed a wide range of musical genre, she's recently discovering there is a whole new set of tunes out there and has been exploring those through the world of YouTube.

While she likes to keep her family life private, hence the pseudonym, she wants to acknowledge that her child has given her the strength and courage to pursue her writing career along with the close knit group of friends she has from around the world.

Why did she choose a smiling latte for her profile pic? Because she is addicted to soul-warming drinks and her philosophy in life is no matter what bumps you run into, no matter what hurdles you have to cross, keep smiling. It'll make you feel better and maybe bring a smile to someone else's face in the world which is just one step closer to happiness all around.

When two souls are destined to be together, nothing can keep them apart, and if the elders can give those souls a little help, they will intervene.
Arastar was destined to be with Quinn. It was written in the stars. Their encounter wasn’t a normal one, but once they met, they couldn’t deny what destiny already knew.
Little did they know their lives would change for the better; both gaining so much more than just each other.

Okay my lovelies... It's time for the cover reveal for OURS TO HAVE (book 6 of the Ackerman Security Consultants series).
This book will feature Quinn Whitehorse, who you've met in previous books. The mini princess (Fawn) calls him Q.T. as in "cutie" and her reason for this will be revealed along the way.
I'm excited about this book and discovering what Quinn's vision (at the end of book 5) fire, pain, suffering, strength and a single bright star on the horizon means.

The question of school uniforms has plagued our society for many years and why I'm debating this, I have no idea, since I no longer have children of school age. It was just something that popped into my at the alarming hour of 3:00 a.m. when I woke with a start and the debate rattling around in my head. Now I ask you.... Why is that? No freckin' idea. Ha! Ha!
So, to let's get on with the debate...
Are uniforms beneficial to students? When I worked in a schoo

Why is it when someone wants a pic of you, you can never find a selfie that you like?

In my case, it's probably because I hate pics and never take them. Now, looking through my phone I've discovered that my albums contain mostly half naked men (models) that I've chosen to share as eye candy on my blog or FB page, etc. and the rest are of my grandpups. LOL
What about you? What pics does your phone mostly contain?

As an author I find myself lurking around every corner for inspiration. Sometimes it's a comment I overhear; other times it might be something I see. Recently I spend some time browsing the NET for pictures of Native Americans. Now, while I didn't find an image that I was looking for, I did find many, many other incredible "hotties". Each one brought about a different idea in my mind for future reference in the story lines.

Today, I'm simply going to leave you with images of the men who labor throughout the year. WARNING: The images might make your mouth water and your brain say, "Yes, please!"
*Note - I do not own the rights to these images they were taken from google search engine.

Do you find that in spite of having the ease of Internet, cell phones, etc. at the tips of our fingers, we still, somehow, fail to take a moment out of our day to just say, "Hi" to a friend?

In times not so long ago, you had to either "dial" the phone or hand write a letter. Yes, I said hand write... for those who have never done such a thing, that means writing a letter by hand, putting it in an envelope, addressing it, putting a stamp on the corner, and t

This afternoon I was scanning through old posts on FB and discovered this one written a year ago. It was a behind the scenes excerpt featuring some of the ASC crew.....

For those of you who asked for it, here is the "short" story line for the Cowboy and his Sidekick's shopping adventure........ (A behind the scenes look from the Ackerman Security Consultants series)
Shopping... It’s an adventure!

MARK YOUR CALENDARS - Omaha area fans

This will be a casual event giving you a chance to "meet the author", get a book signed, ask questions, and more. Stop by for a visit. You might even get a chance to meet with Riann Leigh (my co-author for the JQ Beron series that is soon

My faith has been restored!
It was wonderful to be back in "my" coffee shop this week, writing once again. But what really made me sit back and say, "It's good to be 'home'," was the fact the shop's crew were back in harmony. A couple week's ago I was strongly voicing my concerns about the staff changes that had been made, as the service had been affected by the alterations.
Now, I am happy to announce, they are back in action.
I stopped by today, to s

I had the pleasure of spending the weekend at the most amazing reader's appreciation event and met some incredible people, both fans and authors. What I don't think non-readers understand is the close knit group authors and their fans are, sometimes. It was so incredible to sit down, share a meal, and swap stories with the people in attendance.

As an author, I feel it's important to keep that connection with the fans (and fellow authors). Not only to you find out what others a

Under the advisement of a life coach friend of mine, I am attempting to make better choices when it comes to food consumption. So, today, while I'm working at my favorite coffee shop (see pic), I decided to switch from my usual morning green tea (gunpowder) and opt for a "surprise" drink. The wonderful barista, who just happens to be one of their best employees (in my opinion) asked what fruits I like and created a strawberry/peach 'n' ice drink. To my utmost shock (as I really wanted

No! It is not ROLAIDS®, although I have taken my fair share of those over the years. Ha! Ha!

My question refers to that feeling you get when a large project has come to an end and you have met the deadline.

Recently, I have been working on a volunteer project that was a major undertaking. I discovered that my extensive history working with this same type of project didn't help very much, at first. As time went by, I was able to fall into more of a routine about how

That's the question of the day... Are they worth it? Is the dating game worth it?

Now, I'm not talking about young couples and "first" love, then again, maybe I am. Just because someone has crossed the "30" mark (or even "40), does that mean there is no one out there for them to date? Does that mean there isn't a chance of finding love again (or real love, a first time)?

I like to think the world is a vast place, filled with possibilities. Howev

It was quite an honor to discover, this morning, that I had been included among the top ten books that were nominated for the Preditors & Editors Reader's Poll for books released in 2015. Just being nominated for the poll was a privilege, but to find out that Mine to Have fell in at 5th place was incredible. To all of those who took time to vote, I certainly appreciate it.

As an author, we all feel a certain way about each of our books, or at least I do. Each of the four b

Roaring into his life, Ryley Storm literally knocks Thalmas Weston off kilter. A man who swore he’d never have a permanent woman in his life finds himself in an interesting quandary where Ryley is concerned.
FBI Agent Ryley Storm has dedicated her life to her career. There’s no time for a relationship. At least not until she finishes the case she’s been working on for the past

Well, of course. As with everything, you will always run across those who don't take the task seriously. Now, I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't have some fun along the way. After all, dating is supposed to be fun.

However, I do question the methods of dating when you've passed what some might consider the "prime dating time". While I may not
